Catherine Zeta Jones Skincare

It's been 24 years since Catherine Zeta-Jones had her breakout role as Elena in The Mask of Zorro back in 1998, and the actress has maintained her radiant, glowing complexion ever since. Now 52, the actress is about to star as Morticia in the forthcoming remake of The Addams Family, so it felt an apt time to investigate what exactly she does to make her skin look so good.

While much of it is likely down to good genes, the actress also swears by Elizabeth Arden – for which she's been a model and spokesperson for years. Her product of choice is their Eight Hour Cream.

But the mum-of-two is all about taking advice from the experts, too. Keep reading to see what she's learned from her dermatologist and facialist, as well as the skincare tricks she's discovered on her own.

1/ She's diligent about sunscreen

During lockdown, Catherine did a series of Q&As on her Instagram page where she answered questions from her followers. One of the questions asked was what her travel essentials were. She responded saying, "My husband, my kids, my passport, and sunscreen. Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen. Really, it's getting brutal out there and we have to protect our skin." She went on to admit that she loves being "bronzed and all gorgeously suntanned" but that she's still diligent about her sun protection.

2/ She’s all about hydration

On top of the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream, the star also shared that she loves to use facial oils. When asked about her favourite skincare product, Catherine replied saying, "I work a lot with essential oils. I mix my own. I put oils on my face."

3/ She exfoliates regularly

She followed the above statement about oils by saying that "to counteract the greasiness of the oils," she exfoliates every day "with a very mild exfoliating cream or a gel just to buff off those dead skin cells". A word to the wise: if you have sensitive skin, exfoliating just a couple of times a week should do the trick without causing irritation.

4/ She doesn’t touch her face

In an interview with W magazine, Catherine was asked what the best advice from her facialist has been and she responded: "Don't pick!" While this can be the hardest advice for some people to follow, her facialist is right. Dermatologist Dendy Engelman, MD, previously told Women's Health that, "popping anything causes your skin to physically break apart, making it more susceptible to infection and an even bigger problem than what was originally there in the first place".
